Crosswalk and a bike.
WHAT IS BONUS DAY?! LOL! Anything??
3-19 Bonus participation
Wide angle shot to fit everything in. I got lucky when an “Indigo” Blue VW Golf pulled into the parking lot in front of the “Wine”ry. My “Bike” is in the foreground and Honey B’s Macarons is an “Independent Bakery”, whose sign you can see on the right.
Those 4 items are accompanied by a yellow fire hydrant way in the far left distance (guessing maybe it will look like a yellow dot at best when uploaded
The bonnet (top) of the hydrant is “oblate spheroid” shaped (with a locking nut on very top), but it’s only half a spheroid. I’m guessing it doesn’t count, since it’s only half, but wanted to share.A fun way to end my ride and Freezing Saddles 2022!

3/20 – bonus day
Oblate spheroid – the street lamps surrounding Dupont Circle are spheroid
Flowering Tree – there’s a flowering tree in front of the Dupont Circle Hotel
Wine – in the left corner of the hotel there is a lounge where probably lots of people inside are imbibing on wine
St Patrick’s Day – the lights are green for St Patrick’s Day
Crosswalk – a crosswalk in front of the hotel
Embassy – to the right of the hotel is the Jamaican Embassy which unfortunately isn’t lit up
Bike – a bike in the foreground

3/19/22 Bonus Day
Had to do a pano shot to get everything in one photo:
1) oblate spheroid (the two fake balloons in front of McDonald’s on left side on photo: 2) bicycle (mine in the median of Langston Blvd Arlington), 3) crosswalk (Zoom in, it is under the traffic lights); 4) Independent bakery (Heidelberg Bakery, an Arlington institution) is in about the center of the photo near the traffic lights; 5) indigo (either the trash and recycle bins on left side of street or the car on the right side of the photo); 6) chemistry (must be taught in Langston High School on the left side of the picture); 7) flowering trees (the ones in the foreground are not blooming but there is one in the distance on the left side of the street); with stretches Embassy, wine, St Patrick’s Day, moon, Art Deco (Rule #7) explain if the “pic is …not easily relatable” to the requested item.
Embassy-the flags flying in front of McDonalds remind me of an American embassy and McDonalds is a safe place for many Americans abroad;
9) Wine-the man crossing the street looks like he is carrying a bottle of wine, or he is looking for a bottle;
10) St Patrick’s Day-I associate SPD with spring bc i grew up in the South. All of the flowers popping out and bushes turning green remind me that SPD was this week;
11) Moon-the moon is always out there even when we cannot see it
12) Art Deco-while on my “cool house” ride yesterday for scavhunt, i saw an Art Deco style apartment building (okay, that’s too big of a stretch)Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
3/19/2022 Bonus day participation prize
Well, if all bikingjenn’s get accepted, I may have to reanalyze mine for more possibilities. But for now:Wine = Potomac Wine and Spirits. (You may have to enlarge to see the sign, but it’s just to the right of the street.)
Moon (obvious)
Crosswalk (obvious)
Bike (on the left side of Potomac Wine and Spirits)
Oblate spheroid = the earth, which is an oblate sphere. (Okay, I’ll understand if this gets disallowed.)
3-19-22 – bonus!
Aw man, I read the directions wrong – I thought it said to post to EITHER Strava or Forum, so technically, I’m a day late. DARN! But here is the text copied from my Strava list for your enjoyment:
“#scavhunt BONUS! OK, you have to stretch the creative imagination here, but I’ve got SIX items here. First, the easy ones. 1) bike. 2) wine (in Sam’s hand). 3) crosswalk – Nadine is standing in it. The other three are harder. 4) moon – you can barely see the moon in the photo, and the clouds were covering part of it, and of course, the photo doesn’t do it justice, but it’s just above Nadine’s head through the tree branches. 5) flowering trees. You’ll just have to take my word for it because the spot where we were on Hains Point was surrounded by flowering trees and they ARE in the background. 6) Ovate spheroid. Nadine generously volunteered to squash her ‘middle-aged’ boob for that one. Thank you Nadine! Oh wait – could there even be a bit of INDIGO? Would that make SEVEN???”
